Lovelock urges ocean climate fix
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website
Salps occur in great swarms
Two of Britain's leading environmental thinkers say it is time to develop a quick technical fix for climate change. Writing in the journal Nature, Science Museum head Chris Rapley and Gaia theorist James Lovelock suggest looking at boosting ocean take-up of CO2.

James Lovelock: "The Earth is about to catch a morbid fever that may last as long as 100,000 years. Each nation must find the best use of its resources to sustain civilisation for as long as they can."

James Lovelock: Nuclear power is the only green solution

James Lovelock is one of the world's truly extraordinary scientists. For the last 35 years, he has worked independently from home, where he has consistently produced world-class science. His electron capture detector was the first to show us that low levels of pesticides were present throughout the natural world. For this he is credited with inspiring the green movement of the 1960s. He also discovered that CFCs were accumulating in Earth's atmosphere. From this we learnt that we were putting the protective ozone layer in jeopardy. But most important is his revolutionary theory, Gaia. His metaphor that Earth behaves like a living organism couldn't be more profound in its implications for how we live on Earth. In January 2003, Lovelock was made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour – a fitting tribute to a tireless worker. For Lovelock, this was confirmation that Gaia has made it through the establishment gates. Here, he tells us how his Gaia Theory was conceived.
